— The Demoman

” |
The Splendid Screen is a secondary weapon for the Demoman. It is an iron shield with four knobs in the cardinal directions, and a large boss in the middle.
Compared to the Chargin' Targe, this weapon provides 60% less fire resistance, and 62.5% less explosive resistance. However, its charge ability is more potent; there is no minimum distance required to deliver damage with a shield bash, and a successful charge bash delivers 70% more damage.
Contents
Damage
Alternate fire initiates a charge attack, which deals damage on its own, or may be used in conjunction with another weapon.
- Charge Damage: 85 (if shield connects with enemy) + 17 per head (up to 5 heads).
- The shield damage is affected by weapon damage spread, it is not a constant number.
- Charge Speed: 750 Hammer units/sec (Approximately 2.5 times faster than 'Base' Speed).
- Charge Speed: 638 Hammer units/sec with Scotsman's Skullcutter equipped (Approximately 2.1 times faster than 'Base' Speed).
Function times
- Charge Interval: 12 seconds
- Charge Interval: 6 seconds with the Persian Persuader equipped
Times are approximate and determined by community testing.

Bugs
- If attempting to view a replay in which a player uses the Splendid Screen, the replay editor won't start and will give an error, saying: GetDynamicBaseline: FindStringIndex(238-CTFWearableDemoShield) has failed.
- If attempting to use the Bottle or any other one-handed weapon ,the shield will still be visible although the left hand of the Demoman won't(Need the change to viewmodel fov in order to see it).
